Navassa

Navassa is an uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea, located between Haiti and Jamaica. The island was once home to Fort Lully, a British Royal Navy base, but it was conquered by Edward Kenway's pirates in April 1717 during the Golden Age of Piracy. Navassa was a pirate stronghold for years, only to be abandoned after the era's end; by the 1730s, the fort was still ungarrisoned and left in ruins. Today, Navassa is disputed between Haiti (which claimed sovereignty over Navassa in its 1801 constitution) and the United States (which made Navassa a territory in 1858). The island is currently administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and it is a "minor outlying island" of the USA.
